A Cambria-based machining operation is asking for Lockport Industrial Development Agency incentives to help it relocate to the town.
Integrity Machining and Fabrication, currently located near the intersection of North Ridge and Wilson-Cambria Roads in Cambria, wants to move inside the Lockport Industrial Park at 4906 IDA Park Road.
“The additional space and power will allow us to add more machines,” the project documents submitted to the Lockport IDA state. “We will also have the space and resources to safely take on larger projects. This location is properly suited to add a second shift. All of this will result in new hires to support growth.”
It would cost the company $550,000 to acquire the 1.7-acre parcel with an 8,920 square foot building already there, owned by Slab of WNY and formerly occupied by Emerson and Renwick. Of that space, 1,000 square feet would be for offices and the remaining space would be for manufacturing.
Of the company’s sales, only 10% were in the Town of Lockport, with 40% elsewhere in Niagara County, 25% outside of the county in New York state, and 25% in other states. About $120,000 worth of new manufacturing equipment would be bought within the first two years of operating in the new space.
Integrity is asking for $4,400 worth of mortgage recording tax exemptions and a 15-year PILOT agreement worth $88,012. It expects to create eight new jobs within two years of completion, with an average salary of $45,000, in addition to the five already present.
A public hearing about this project will take place at the IDA’s next meeting in September. Integrity hopes to move to the new location quickly, following approval.
